Entity Not Found in MetaData Cache - CRM Configuration Migration Tool

Posted on by

Greetings,

I've been running into troubles attempting to migrate reference records between two orgs and I was hoping someone might be able to help figure out why. Here is a copy of part of the log files, I only put the results of one entity here but all six look almost identical to this.

Log started at : 12:11:56 PM
12:12 PM New Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Parsing import data file
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Parse Complete
12:12 PM New Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Beginning Import To CRM.. Importing 6 entities - 42 records
12:12 PM New Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Running Schema Validation
12:12 PM Schema Validation - Result: True - Entity: ALL - Validating 6 Entities
12:12 PM Schema Validation - Result: True - Entity: ALL - Schema Validation Completed
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Schema Validation Complete
12:12 PM New Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Processing Entity: <Custom Auto Number Definition>
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Processing Entity <Custom Auto Number Definition>, 1 Records in this entity
12:12 PM ImportEntity - Result: True - Entity: <Custom Auto Number Definition> - Beginning Import of entity
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Pre-Processing Entity <custom Auto Number Definition>
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Processing <Custom Auto Number Definition (threaded)>, Imported 0 of 1
12:12 PM Insert Record - Result: False - Entity: <custom_autonumberdefinition> - Insert to <custom_autonumberdefinition> FAILED with Error : The entity with a name = '<custom_autonumberdefinition>' was not found in the MetadataCache.
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Processing <Custom Auto Number Definition (threaded)>, Imported 1 of 1
12:12 PM Progress Event - Result: True - Entity: unknown - Entity <Custom Auto Number Definition>, Completed Importing 0 of 1
12:12 PM ImportEntity - Result: True - Entity: <Custom Auto Number Definition> - Stage Complete

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

Thanks,

Spencer Underwood

    Hi Spencer

    This error usually means the entity doesn’t exist in CRM. Make sure CRM customisations are published and check if the entity exists in system.

    Best Wishes, Raz
